Things that come to your mind when thinking of Germany

[Dick Brucinson]

Whatever that might be - clichee, fact or fiction - just curious.

Mainly the German friends I’ve had throughout the years.

Mainly the German friends I’ve had throughout the years.

There was a lot of UK/German-friendship going on especially here in my city (Celle, northern Germany) because there were 10.000 English soldiers and their families living here for years, but that ended in 2016 and they all went back to England. That was quite a loss cause most of the time it was really fun with most of them. Plenty of good memories.

I like this little riddle about us:
Q: How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?
A. One. We are efficient and have no sense of humor.

You should check out one particular movie by the Zucker brothers, title is "Top Secret" (if you haven't yet). Val Kilmer is a popstar from America coming to Germany. And it's Nazi Germany and GDR as one. Great movie, full of absurdities.

Celle, northern Germany

Oh the fond memories I have from the Lüneburger Heide, Niedersachsen, and northern Germany in general.
That's when I realized I've been taught the entirely wrong German for five years at the German language school in Sofia; how and why did Hochdeutsch become standard is beyond me.

Lüneburger Heide is exactly where I'm from. Do you remember where you went here? Been to Celle?
